Konpira-san

29 03 2009

A few weeks ago I went with Kazumi to Kagawa prefecture in Shikoku. During our trip, we visited the Konpira Shrine, the most famous one in the region.

In front of the station…

P1040267

Don’t know who this is. :?

P1040269

If you give like 5 million yen or more to the shrine, you can get your name carved in one of these as well. :?

P1040271

More stuff…

P1040275

Hachiko…?

P1040279

A huge propeller donated by some ship company.

P1040280

I had no idea there were elephants in Japan… :?

P1040282

Advertising… inside of the shrine. :?

P1040283

As would be expected… there is a café conveniently placed inside the shrine grounds.

P1040287

Once you get to the shrine, you can appreciate sceneries like these.

P1040289

To get to the top of the shrine, we had to climb over 1000 steps. :?

More steps…

P1040327

This was at the very top of the place.

P1040331

The view from the top.

P1040342

On the way back now… :(

P1040357

I bet there’s millions of yen inside that thing. :?

P1040376

Back down near the entrance…

P1040384

Is this a plum tree?

P1040398

Some huge dirty pond… The guy in charge must have been on vacation or something.

P1040406

Some library on Buddhist books.

P1040407

Inside the library.

P1040408

Some strange looking shrine next to the train station.
